I'm Just Kinda Concerned About My Height (story Inside) :]
Posted: 11-17-06 09:05am

Alright well here it goes, i'm 16 and i'm female (lol) and very skinny so skinny i've only had 1 period since I turned 16 and havent had another in 3 or 4 months (sorry boys that may be reading this) and i'm 5 foot 6 which is pretty an average weight so I am told, my mum is 5 foot 6 aswel and were the same shoe size and clothes size which is wierd so we can wear each others clothes as an advantage. My dad is about 6 foot 4 and my sister is 15 and is 5 foot 4 is it possible to grow anymore?



The thing is a few years ago I went on holiday to majorca when I was about 15 or 14 (cant remember)and before I went there I dieted to fit into my swimming cossie and was about 9 pounds or so then I went on holiday and dieted having eaten nothing and dropped down to 7 pounds I fear I may have stunted my growth spurt, have i? I've read you can grow until 18 so perhaps theres a little hope out there.


All suggestions are considered and help is appreciated, thank you. :]

i highly doubt it, as female we usually stop at about age 16 and men at age 18, I would love to be 5"6, im 5'4 and would love to be taller as im the runt of my family lol!

I highly doubted you stunt your growth, you may go through 1-2 more growths spurts and thats it but accept your height!
